Come Have Tea With Me!

It was tea party time! About 10 new friends came over and we had tea and cookies. It was a a nice evening of laughing and visiting.

I want to share the recipes though. They were good and easy - my favorite kind of recipes!

I got this recipe from my daughter and IT IS GOOD! I would choose this! The Best Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream makes 3 cups (I have doubled it) Ingredients 1 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled and diced 2 Tbsp honey 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp lemon juice 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/2 cup half and half 1 tsp vanilla extract Instructions In large bowl mix strawberries, honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Allow to sit for about 15-20 minutes to give the strawberries some time to "weep." Mash the mixture with a potato masher, fork, or pastry cutter until there are no longer any large strawberry pieces (if you prefer a smooth ice cream, use a blender or food processor instead) Mix the strawberries, heavy cream, half and half, and vanilla extract. Stir just until combined. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow you...
